IMPROVED DEVICE FOR IBENDING- SCROLLS.

The Schedulereferred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

'the following is a full and exact description thereof,

which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and letters of reference marked thereon, in which Figure, I is a flat band-iron scroll, one end of which is a finished spiral, and the other end partly curved.

Figure II is the scrollformer, showing the startingend, at A, and the finishing-scroll, at B.

The letters of reference indicate similar parts in all the figiu'es.

The improvements herein referred to consist in the employment of a scroll-former, to form the scrolls used in making scroll-fences.

By the use of the spiral-former, the scrolls or diflerout parts of the fence are more speedily and uniformly made. 1

The usual mode of making the scrolls is by turning round the anvil-horn, and afterwards regulating the form with the hammer.

The following is a description of the construction and operation of my said improvements:

A, Fig. II, is the starting-point of the scroll. The

end of the flat bar is placed in the notch at A, and

bent over the round of the former until it assumes the form of a in Fig. I. It is then placed in the finishingscroll B, and bent over the outside round far enough to complete the form of the scroll; this being a quick and economical mode of manufacturing the scrolls for fences and other piuposes.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The finishing-scroll former B, and the scroll-former A, constructedand combined as and for the purpose set forth.
